GREEN VALLEY STAGE BAND Wednesday, March 2nd at 7:00 PM Tickets: $15/$20 in advance - all tickets $20 at door Back for their annual CPAC concert, the Green Valley Stage Band has been delighting audiences throughout southern Arizona since 1990.

TRIBUTE TO FATS DOMINO WITH MR. BOOGIE

WOOGIE Thursday, March 3rd at 3:00PM and 7:00 PM Tickets: $25 in advance - $30 at door This concert features hard drivin’ old school Rhythm & Blues complemented by the fastest, flashiest, piano-thumping boogie man from the Netherlands. Yes, that’s right. This Dutch based, drive by piano player hits hard and will take no prisoners! As soon as he starts pounding the ivories, you’ll be on your way to the Land of Good Times. Mr. Boogie Woogie and his nine piece Fats Domino Tribute Band will perform Fats Domino's biggest hits like “Blueberry Hill,” “I'm Ready” and “Blue Monday” as well as other songs from Domino's enormous repertoire including “There Goes My Heart Again,” “Domino Twist” and “Whiskey Heaven” making resisting foot tapping and singing along impossible. This tribute show is a celebration, an explosive musical spectacle full of fire, virtuosity and humor, with an overwhelmingly charis-matic horn section: a truly one of a kind tribute to the music of the legendary Fats Domino. During a previous tour, C. Graham of the Tucson Citizen wrote, “We can definitely say Mr. Boogie Woogie is not an acquired taste. His enthusiastic piano attacks are instantly accessible. He starts playing, you start smiling.” Mr. Boogie Woogie (aka) Eric-Jan Overbeek was born in Nieuw Vennep, Netherlands. Mesmerized by an old piano in the living room, Eric-Jan began studying classical piano at the age of eight. He demonstrated an extraordinary talent for musical arrangement and got his first job at age twelve playing piano as an accompa-nist for dance classes. In April 2011 Overbeek was voted Best Dutch Blues Pianist 2010. He also won the prestigious title of Best European Blues Pianist 2005 in the company of many of the world's best blues artists.

GHOST TOWNS OF OLD ARIZONA A Film by Phil Wenstrand Thursday, March 17th at 7:00 PM Tickets: $10 in advance - all tickets $15 at door In the 1800’s frontier Arizona was a very hostile place. Forbid-ding deserts, heat and unfriendly natives made pioneering here as tough as any place in the west. But still there were those who thought the rewards were worth the risk. Mostly they dug into the earth in search of riches. As miners dug, others built camps that turned into towns. The motion picture, Ghost Towns of Old Ari-zona, takes you into some of these interesting and often danger-ous places. A question and answer session with Phil Wenstrand will follow the film. Last year’s showing was a sellout!

BEAU RENFRO AND CLEAR COUNTRY Friday, March 18th at 7:00 PM Tickets: $15/$20 in advance - all tickets $20 at door Beau Renfro is an entertainer, songwriter, singer, music man and just an all around good ole' boy who had just as soon be fishing or hunting as anything else. Beau's music career started in Forrest City, Arkansas when his mother and nine sisters taught him to sing those good old Gospel songs. Young Beau soon discovered the Nashville sounds of Little Jimmy Dickens, Ernest Tubb, Faron Young, Marty Robbins and others. After moving to East Texas, Beau worked at a Radio Station during the day and played his music at night in some of Texas' most famous nightclubs. During that time he was hired to open for many Nashville coun-try stars including T.G. Shepard, Moe Bandy, Jerry Reed, Charlie Rich, Faron Young and Joe Stampley. This set the stage for a tour with David Houston’s band including stops at the Famed Grand Ole' Opry. In 1976 Beau’s first album hit radio stations worldwide. “There's No More Gold,” Beau's first release, was the hit of the week for Billboard Magazine and went to #85 on the Country Charts. Through his connections in the music industry, Beau was instrumental in pushing the song “Red Wine” by Joe Stampley to Epic Records, which went to #5 on the charts. Beau went on to work the famed Ozark Jubilee in Branson, MO, playing 200 dates a year. He then moved to Tucson, Arizona where his Clear Country Band was formed with Rick Skinner, Harry Bolin and Mickey Gee. The band was named Arizona's #1 Country Dance and Show Band seven times. Beau has come full circle and now lives in Arkansas where he started. He still re-cords in Nashville regularly. His many songs have placed high on the worldwide charts and Billboard picked “Let's fall in Love for the Weekend” as hit of the week in 1981. “God's Amazing Grace” is routinely played on many radio stations on July 4th and September 11th. Beau recorded 16 releases with Stardust Records in Nashville and is a member of the Rock-a-Billy Hall of Fame.

ARIZONA FRONTIER DOUBLE FEATURE:

Legends of the Lost Dutchman / Mysteries of Canyon

Diablo Two Films by Phil Wenstrand

Wednesday, September 28th at 7:00 PM Tickets: $10 in advance - all tickets $15 at door

For well over a hundred years prospectors, adventurers and even tourists have searched in vain for the famous Lost Dutchman gold mine in Arizona’s Superstition Mountains. Dozens have died in this rugged place only a few miles from downtown Phoenix. Was there a “Dutchman” and did he have a fabulous mine that contained, in his words “enough treasure for ten men?” “Legends of the Lost Dutchman” follows his trail and those of the men and women who continue to search. For a brief time in the 1880’s the little town of Canyon Diablo in northern Arizona became the wickedest place on the frontier. With a killing almost every day, no lawman dared step foot in this den of gamblers, robbers and thieves. This was “the end of the track,” a community of tents, tar paper shacks and killers. Both of these films were produced by Arizona filmmaker Phil Wenstrand.
